No, im not following what the article is covering. Settings edit profile, well I guess that is for our site here, but getting the steam ID, well there is a little lack on that part. Basically, this program is not idiot proof.

look for steam community id, i had to change the name to add the other fields... shhhhh

it's not a bunch of numbers, or anything even close to being your steamID. I suppose you could try and put in all those crazy numbers...but all you have to do to get a proper steam link is login to your steam community page, go to your profile, and set up a name for yourself. Simple stuff.

entering your actual STEAM ID (like mine: STEAM_0:1:4160689 ) is for our stats/slots stuff. If we can get the game icons like we had previously, linking to hlstats and such, we'll make these things overlap like we had on TTP. but for now...at least it's something.

I dunno if you read my original post or my edited one. The problem now is if I Just want to put my bf2stats or whatever, the form doesn't like a null SteamID and complains.

To answer your original reply though:
Why make it complicated? The SteamID and Steam CommunityID can be calculated from each other. If you have one, you can calculate the other, and your steam profile is located at http://http://steamcommunity.com/pro...eamCommunityID

Let X and Y be defined by the Steam ID: STEAM_0:X:Y
SteamCommunityID = Y*2 + 76561197960265728 + X
Individual Steam accounts can only have values of X which are 0 or 1.
Basic number theory tells us that if SteamCommunityID is even then X = 0 and if SteamCommunityID is odd then X = 1.
You can autopopulate one of the fields depending on which one is entered. And you should always be able to reach someone's Steam Profile via their SteamCommunityID, regardless of if they have a "Custom URL" set or not. I put in my numerical SteamCommunityID last week (before the wipe) and it worked fine (of course lots of people got confused about which number to put but that's not really the issue).

Again, getting back on topic, I cannot edit my bf2stats field without putting in a SteamID form complains that it is null.
